Hazards Generated by an LNG Road Tanker Leak: Field Investigation of Vapour Propagation under Class B Conditions of Atmospheric Stability

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The publication presents the results of a field test of 2–4 min releases of 96% LNG from a road tanker designed to carry the gas. The release was performed at a pressure of 5.9–6.1 atm at a discharge rate of 1.67–1.78 kg/s from a height of 0.75 m under ...

Experimental data from compartment fires with gas burner and upholstered furniture fuels

open access: yesData in Brief, 2023
There exists a variety of specialized fire dynamics routines, zone fire models, and field fire models. Many of these heuristics and correlations rely on experimental data from fires fueled by gas burners or liquid pool fires and have had minimal, if any,
